Art and Philosophers- Euclid (Euclid's Orchard) Patricia Piccinini in Tasmania.

Possibly a student of Plato, and definitely of Plato's academy, and from the text Elements, Euclid1 postulated upon, at around 300BC many of the laws of common artistic devices.*

In looking down upon Euclid's Orchard, the origin, or where the artists viewpoint extends from, is say, located at the bottom left corner of the square. the only visible trees this orchard (an orchard containing trees of roughly the same size shape and mass, planted in even rows with similar division. The trees are represented by circles, the visible trees are the blue or filled in circles. The red hollow trees represent the trees that are still there, but hidden by the algorthythm.*



Therefore the following image is of what would exist perpendicular to this as in the artists viewpoint if the visible trees were reduced to thin grey lines. The theorem exists mathematically.*




Many of the recent blogged works, perhaps have adopted Euclid's Orchard, the visualization of which, in- 3 Dimensional, walk through terms, is almost transparent, but within artistic composition this all, is almost always precisely intentional, being a visual means. Elements may have been juxtaposed and stories are to be told, but this is essentially about common communication and recognized accordingly.

Decidedly contrary, maybe unwittingly to the Orchard and specific to the site of the Tasmanian Museum And Art Gallery, is a recent exhibition in Hobart of Patricia Piccinini. Hidden sculptures burst into being around taxidermied specimens of Devils and other endangered fauna in their protection In a co - effort with Diorama (dioramas being operative toward Euclid!)specialist Brian Rooney(The Museum contains more than 800 000 items), the compelling exhibition wrought with emotive and dedication, brings together elements of her career(as pictured) and awe- strikes the audience, (including Adults?) with the sublime contradictions, of hybrids and genomes and femininity that only examples of something much like a whaling collection could contradict.


I was particularly sated by the creative dampening of the harsh colonization of Australia and especially Tassie, which was often portrayed in tabloid journalism of that age, a freak show.

With H.G Wells, The War of the Worlds (Profile picture etc...)was written upon the posterity and against the destruction of the Tasmanian Environment surmising, with parallels toward trees- bigger than Big Ben, of death by disease, of lip- less, many- tentacled monstrosities- pertaining to the case of a grossly mutilated platypus. The narrators neighbour in the book just happened to be an Astronomer, everyone was an expert on Australia at one stage.
